DIRECTOR MATT REEVES: Talking Caesar & "Apes"

Director Matt Reeves recently sat down to talk about the upcoming 3rd installment of the Planet Of The Apes franchise which is scheduled to hit AMC Theatres onJuly 29th 2016. Reeves said the following: "The first one is sort of how Caesar goes from humble beginnings to becoming a revolutionary. In 'Dawn,' he really rose to occasion of becoming a leader in really challenging and difficult times. The notion of what we're after with the third is to sort of continue that trajectory and see how he becomes a seminal figure in ape history. He almost becomes sort of like an ape Moses. A mythic status... We're trying to play out those themes and continue to sort of explore it in this universe. Exploring human nature under the guise of apes.”
